Only Love

I asked the rising sun in despair,Why don’t you freeze?On the wake of global warming;

I asked the glorious full moon in disgrace,Why don’t you hide and become ‘no moon’?Having witnessed the violence on femininity;

I asked the stars in anguish,Why don’t you stop twinkling?While seeing terror attacks on humanity;

I asked the vast blue sky in grief,Why don’t you cover yourself with cloud’s blanket?On the crisis of global intolerance;

Then reply came from………

The Sun and the Moon,The blue sky and the little Stars;

That…………

Why don’t you wake up and turn inwards?To witness all the chaos inside;Outer world is just a reflection,Of everybody’s inner hate and violence;Thus the only solution for all these is,LOVE and ONLY LOVE.
